Beautiful Gallery Happy Father’s Day Card

Beautiful Gallery Happy Father's Day Card

Father’s Day is coming soon on Sunday, June 15th so it’s time to make a special card for a special father in your life. Here’s an easy Father’s Day card you can make with this beautiful scenic paper. Just add a greeting and you have a nice card, the Beautiful Gallery Happy Father’s Day Card.

I chose a paper in the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. There are several choices you could make on the paper that would be similar to this card. I loved the orangish sky in the background behind the scenic hills and mountains with a little stream coming down next to the tree. I cut this paper at the usual size – 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the front of the card, but I decided to add a layer of Peach Pie cardstock (one of the In Colors continuing on this year from last year) behind the designer paper to accent that orange sky. That cardstock is cut at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/4″ which makes for a very narrow margin around the edges. The card base is Early Espresso. I tried out several colors before I settled on this dark brown color.

The greeting is an ephemera piece in the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. That makes it easy! No stamping necessary! If you didn’t have an official Father’s Day stamp or this ephemera pack, you could certainly choose another greeting from your stash! Something about love, being awesome, being incredible, you are special….anything along those lines will surely convey your feelings and you can write “Happy Father’s Day” inside the card. I trimmed down this greeting just very slightly to make it a tiny bit smaller on the card and even sponged a little Peach Pie ink on the greeting to take away some of the bright white. Probably Crumb Cake or another brown would have looked good too. This ephemera pack is “currently unavailable” but you can check off that you want to be notified when it comes back into stock if you like.

This Beautiful Gallery DSP is something special with its old-world art gallery look. You can make the paper into cards or projects or simply add to a picture frame for some home decor! Here’s another card I made using a different patterned paper in that package, but in a slimline style. Notice how it does not have a “Father’s Day” greeting on the front, but the greeting it does have would be perfectly suitable.

Florals In Bloom Decorated Kraft Gift Bag

Floral Blooms Decorated Kraft Gift Bag

When I came across this plain kraft shopping bag, I decided it would be a good idea to decorate it for a summer birthday gift. This Floral Blooms Decorated Kraft Gift Bag was easy to make and now it is ready to go when I need a gift bag for a birthday! The beautiful paper really transformed this plain bag!

All these measurements depend on the size of your bag, obviously. My bag is 9 1/2″ wide. Just adjust your measurements according to how big or small your bag is. I used the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You could use any pattern in the package you like. My paper is cut at 5″ x 9 1/2″. I also added a strip of Petunia Pop cardstock (one of the current In Colors from last year, still current this year!) at the top and bottom of the floral paper. I already had a scrap that I could use. I cut it in half so each piece was about 1″ x 9 1/2″. Half an inch was adhered underneath the designer paper, top and bottom so half an inch would show.

The greeting uses the With You In Mind Stamp Set. It’s a “returning fave” on page 37 of the Annual Catalog, carried over from the last catalog. It was perfect for the look I wanted on this gift bag with it’s large greeting. It is stamped in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White cardstock. I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out the greeting and then cut out the next larger one out of Petunia Pop cardstock for a layer under the white. You can’t go wrong with this set of Textured Notes Dies! They are so useful and each one has a fancy border. They are part of the Botanical Textures Suite Collection so you could purchase these dies on the Suite Sale. Put your thinking cap on when you order so that the two lowest priced Suites or Suite items give you the good deal.

For a finishing touch, I tied a double bow with the Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. It’s on the Last Chance List. And a few sparkly gems, the new Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems. Even though neither of those colors are Petunia Pop, the light-colored Pretty In Pink ones worked just fine. There are also Clear gems in that package as well.

Just that quick you have a nice gift bag that could be designed for any occasion or season! I love making these gift bags out of small shopping bags I receive at certain stores….or you can purchase a package of them at the craft store. They are handy to have on hand!

Full Of Life Slimline Hip Hip Hooray Card

Full Of Life Slimline Hip Hip Hooray Card

I knew I wanted to use the Full Of Life paper and this Full Of Life Slimline Hip Hip Hooray Card is what eventually turned out! I think this paper is so colorful and fun. You can use it for so many occasions, and if you want more subtle color, just turn over on the other side. I think this card could be for a birthday or a celebratory occasion such as a graduation. Maybe a good masculine card!

This is a slimline card for something different. The Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper worked well with that. The Basic White card base is cut at 6″ x 6″ and folded in half at 3″ to make the slimline design. I cut the paper with the little squares at five rows which is about 2 1/8″ wide. That was the section with colors of greens, blues, and purples. Just by chance, the “other side” of the scrap I cut off had a dark blue stripe which I liked against the many colors of the squares. I cut that in half so I could adhere about 1/4″ to the top and the bottom of the squares piece.

I wasn’t sure what greeting I wanted to put on this card, but I found the “Hip Hip Hooray” in the Saying Something Ephemera. While it doesn’t show up dramatically on the front of this card, I think it shows up well enough and gives the card an interesting look. I also added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to the empty space over on the left side.

Try out the Full Of Life Designer Paper and see what fun cards you can make with it!

Florals In Bloom Foldover Birthday Card

Florals In Bloom Foldover Birthday Card

IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS SALE: The Online Cart computer will not think like our (my!) brain thinks so in getting the BOGO 50% off price, think in terms of similarly priced items. The Cart will discount the lowest priced item(s) of Suites in your cart. If you order two Suites, you get 50% off the lower-priced Suite. If you order ribbon in a Suite and add it on the same order as the Suites, the Cart will discount the ribbon since it is the lowest-priced item, not the second Suite that you were “pairing” in your mind with the first Suite as the one you wanted as a discount. If you order two Suites and two rolls of ribbon, the Cart will discount the two rolls of ribbon, not one Suite and one roll of ribbon. Get it?! It’s still a great sale, we just have to have our thinking caps on and I did not until I saw this in a forum online! But you can add items NOT in Suites because they won’t qualify to be discounted anyway. ALSO: The Last Chance list has been updated so you might find more discounts. Go check! The Sale includes Annual Catalog Suites, Online Exclusives Suites (and preorder of new ones for Demos), and Last Chance Suites.

Today, June 3rd, is the first day of the Stampin’ Up! Suite Sale – BOGO Suite or Suite product and get one Suite or Suite product 50% off with the lower price discounted! This special new promotion from Stampin’ Up! started today but goes the whole month of June! You can read more of the details on my blog post yesterday HERE.

I made this Florals In Bloom Foldover Birthday Card to commemorate this new special for all of us. For example, if you loved this designer series paper in the Florals In Bloom Suite and you also wanted one of the Bundles, you could buy the Bundle and get the designer paper 50% off! Or you could purchase the whole Florals In Bloom Suite and then choose another Suite 50% off! Mixing and matching is allowed as long as they are Suites or products within a Suite. So you can buy one pack of designer paper in one suite and choose another designer paper in another suite and get the lower-priced one 50% off! So even though the sale is about “Suites”, it’s all pretty flexible as long as the product is contained in a Suite or the Suite itself.

This card has a Darling Duckling cardstock base. Darling Duckling is one of the new In Colors for 2025-2027. But this card is folded a little differently just to make it interesting! The card base is cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ as usual. Instead of scoring in the middle, this card has an extra little side fold. I don’t know what the correct term is if there is one, but I’m calling it the “Foldover” card. Score at 1 1/4″ and 5 1/4″. Fold and crease the score lines. This will give you a fold over on the right which meets the front of the card. That narrow fold can overlap the card front or tuck under. For my card, I will tuck it under the focal point of the card with the greeting. You can do it either way.

The Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper is cut at 3″ x 5 1/4″ for the front of the card. The fold on the right side has the other side of the patterned paper and is cut at 1″ x 5 1/4″. If you want to put a Basic White cardstock inside, it would be cut at 3 3/4″ 5 1/4″.

For the focal point of the card, I diecut a large circle in the Spotlight On Nature Dies in Basic White cardstock. I love these dies with the bordered edge designs! I cut out several of the flowers with my Paper Snips scissors to decorate the diecut. The greeting is stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and diecut using the More Messages Bundle. You can do one greeting at a time or stamp the whole stamp at one time and cut out all the messages at one time, then save them. I also added a few of the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems. The greeting is popped up on the diecut circle and the circle is also popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you want the side fold to tuck under the circle, it might be better to not pop it up with Dimensionals, but it is okay.

Wildflower Birthday Tag Card

Wildflower Birthday Tag Card

I wish I could express to you how easy this card was to make! I had no plans in mind except to use the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and out came this Wildflower Birthday Tag Card. I had forgotten about the two sheets of paper in the package that are full of individual tags and images that you can cut apart and use on your cards and projects. You also get two sheets of diecuts which are so fun to use! This designer paper is so pretty for a birthday but lots of other occasions as well. It is definitely not all birthday.

This card has a base of Basic White cardstock and a layer of Peach Pie cardstock. The green dotted designer paper is “the other side” of one of the themed papers in the Wildflower Birthday package. It’s so soft and pretty.

The tag is cut out of the sheet of tags and images I mentioned that also come in this Specialty paper. There are flowers, cakes, and balloons plus others. Just cut them apart and use them on your project. I chose this floral bouquet with a Peach Pie top of the tag. That’s why I added a thin layer of Peach Pie underneath the designer paper. That’s the only thing that took me any time – deciding on just the designer paper on the card base and on which color? White or Peach Pie? I just left a narrow margin of the Peach Pie peeking out under the Soft Sea Foam designer paper pattern and I liked the white card base. However, using Peach Pie for the card base was pretty too!

The tag is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals with a Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon bow adhered to the top. I don’t usually like things placed on an angle, but I liked it on this card! The greeting practically fell out of the package of words in the Saying Something Ephemera Pack so I figured it was the greeting to use! I also added a few Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems in the clear color. Even though the name mentions two colors, there is actually three colors in the package!

If you don’t already own the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper I’d recommend putting it on your shopping list because you can make lots of cards or scrapbook pages with it!

Florals In Bloom Birthday Gift Bag

Florals In Bloom Birthday Gift Bag

And sometimes you forget to hit the “Publish” button after you write a blog post! It was supposed to be on my blog Friday, but I forgot to push the button! Anyway, here is this fun and easy gift bag you can make in no time!

It might be time to make a few gift bags to have on hand this time of year. You probably have graduations coming up or lots of summer birthdays, hostess gifts for parties, maybe even Father’s Day! You can make your own small gift bag in just a few minutes and decorate for the particular occasion.

This particular pattern of gift bag is made with just half a sheet of 12″ x 12″ sheet of paper, whether card stock or designer series paper. This finished gift bag is 4 1/4″ tall, 4″ wide, and 1 3/4″ deep. It is large enough for a small gift or maybe a gift card and a congratulatory card. You could put a cello bag with a few cookies or candies in there. So it is small but not tiny!

While you can cut the paper at 6″ x 12″, I made mine 7″ x 12″ so that I could fold the top edge down 1″ to show the other side of the paper for a little interest on the bag. Either way the rest of the measurements and scoring are the same.

For this bag, I used this floral pattern in the Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper. You’ll find it in the Annual Catalog. It is part of the Florals In Bloom Suite Collection. Make sure any pattern on any paper is going in the direction you want it to go on your project when you cut your paper and when you score, depending on the project.

Start with a 6″ x 12″ piece of paper (or if you want to fold over the top make your paper 7″ x 12″). Score at 4″, 5 3/4″, 9 3/4″, and 11 1/2″. Turn the paper so the short edge is at the top and score at 1 3/4″. This will make the bottom flaps of the bag. Cut those short bottom tabs up to the 1 3/4″ score line. Cut off the little 1/2″ tab on the bottom.  Fold on all the score lines and crease well with the Bone Folder.  Adhere the tab on the end to the other side to assemble the bag.  Then adhere the flaps on the bottom. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the ease of getting things lined up properly before it sticks together or you can use Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Florals In Bloom Gift Bag Scoring

Have fun decorating your bag! I folded over the top 1″ before assembling the bag. You can punch holes front and back to tie ribbon through in order to close the bag or just do it decoratively with a bow as I did. I stamped a Basic White Countryside Corners diecut (dies on the Last Chance list) with a greeting in the Poised Peony Stamp Set (retired). You can use whatever greeting you have. I layered this diecut on the next larger die in Peach Pie cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and the little peony is stamped in Memento ink and colored in with Peach Pie and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I stuck this up underneath the folded over top edge and I think it fits just fine. It looks a little like a banner. I added a few of the new Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems to the greeting for a little sparkle.

And that’s how easy making this basic gift bag is!

Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog Cover 2025-2026

Here are a few more videos from Stampin’ Up! that you might enjoy! I love looking at these to see the new products showcased so well! Have you worn out your new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog yet from looking through it over and over again? I think every time I page through it I find something new. Besides the new catalog, we also have many products in the Online Exclusives. Even though it’s a little inconvenient to not have all our products in one catalog, the advantage is we don’t have to wait for the next catalog to get new products. Stampin’ Up! can release new Online Exclusives every two months for us! And rather than the Clearance Rack or even immediate Retirement Lists, we have the Last Chance List where products will stay while supplies last. Some are discounted and prices may be adjusted over time, but it’s nice to have those items still available longer even though they are “retiring”.

One of my favorite products, in recent catalogs, are the Ephemera Packs. This video showcases the newest cards & envelopes plus ephemera packs, all of the things you can Mix & Match!

Stampin’ Up! has recently returned to an emphasis on scrapbooking with lots of new products and kits. Of course, products for scrapbooking and cardmaking are almost always interchangeable, but it’s nice for scrapbookers to have more choices these days. I think the older we get and we look back at our own family and ancestors, the more we realize the importance of memory-keeping in whatever form it takes. Whether you make very detailed, exquisite pages for your photos in fantastic albums, or you make some easy pages decorated with photos and (very importantly) journaling! Someday somebody is going to look through these pages and be so happy that family events or even just images of our daily lives are recorded. Enjoy this video about specific scrapbooking products in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

And popular with a lot of people, who like to make things but don’t have as many supplies as many of us have, or just want to open a box and have a fun project to make, easy enough for anyone, even beginning crafters, are the Kits in the Kits Collection! Two or maybe sometimes three new Kits are released every month! Here are videos about the two Kits released in May 2025.

Enjoy the weekend by relaxing with your new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog whether you have a hard copy in your hands or like to browse online! If you missed a previous post with other videos of the new products, CLICK HERE to see them!
